People walk along the island that emerged after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck a remote part of Pakistan. ... Seismic waves from the quake likely caused some fluid material under the seafloor to expand, Barnhart said. The crust holding that pressurized fluid ruptured, and mud spewed up.

Answer:
Zalzala Koh may be a mud volcano, located in the Arabian Sea offshore of Gwadar in Balochistan, Pakistan. Ali Rashid Tabriz, the head of Pakistan's National Institute of Oceanography, said that the surfacing of the island had been caused by an emission of methane gas on the seabed.
